Title: Various Artists - Woodstock: Music From The Original Soundtrack And More
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1970, Soundtrack, Festival Rock, Bethel, New York 6/26
Matrix #: Cotillion SD 3 500
Condition: VG+ (LM) | Members: Various Artists (N/A)
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Woodstock’s peace myth came from real survival conditions: rain, mud, food shortages, bad acid cases, overwhelmed medical tents, and two reported deaths at the festival.
2. Studio Lore: The 3LP set was built from live festival recordings tied to Michael Wadleigh’s film, turning stage chaos, crowd noise, and announcements into part of the record.
3. Media Narrative: The soundtrack helped turn one messy upstate gathering into the official mythology of the counterculture, cleaner on wax than it was on the ground.
